Welcome

I call myself the Bittersweet Chef mainly because cooking for me is bittersweet. I am one of those non-cooks that gets incredibly frustrated and irritated when I am in the kitchen. On the other hand, I love the finished product. My hope is that through my stressful adventures in the kitchen, I am able to provide you with easy and tasty dishes!

Garlic Pepper Chicken and Broccoli Shells

  • Chicken Breast
  • Steam-able Broccoli
  • Shell Pasta
  • Black Pepper
  • Garlic Powder
  • Salt
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
I bought a very slim cut and trimmed chicken breast. It cuts down my time because I don't have to actually handle the chicken breast and trim it. I turned on my burner and let it heat up. I put some water in a pot and brought it to a boil, then added the shells. I put in the EVOO in the frying pan and cooked the chicken for a little bit. I steamed the bag of broccoli for 6 minutes. After the chicken turns white, I sprinkled on a bunch of garlic powder, black pepper and salt. Once everything was done cooking, I put it all together and put some more EVOO on top.

This took me about 25 minutes to cook. If you cut up the chicken, it will cook faster. My husband thought the chicken was seasoned well. But we will probably use some other sauce in the future.
